Our different clients remodel for countless reasons. Some are hoping to improve their home’s resale value, while others may desire updated style or a more functional layout. However, these homeowners had an even more specific purpose in mind: accessibility. After being diagnosed with MS years ago, this client’s master bathroom design was no longer practical. Together, we collaborated on plans to make the space safer on every level. The first step was to open up the area around the toilet, creating a wide, easy-to-navigate entrance. Next, we installed safety rails for added protection from falls. The closet door was also …Read More

If we could describe this Bloomington master bath in one word, it would be refreshing. The entire room feels like a breath of fresh air – a peaceful retreat to start and end each day. The original layout already included its fair share of spa-style (it had a built-in whirlpool tub, after all). However, the homeowners decided it was time to give the room a facelift and a few upgrades. We swapped the whirlpool bath with a more accessible and on-trend pedestal tub. Next, we expanded and completely re-tiled the shower. The new shower is spacious and bright with the clean …Read More

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, well, it almost is at least! The first few snowfalls have already come and gone in the Twin Cities, and we’ve got cozy winter hibernation on the brain. If you’re not crazy about shoveling snow and pulling out your heavy jacket, we can all agree that the chilly weather is an excellent excuse to lay low and relax with the people we love.

However, the shade of white we used contains faint gray undertones to keep the mood from getting too sterile. …Read More

Retirement and your golden years are all about relaxation and investing in the people, places, and things that you love.
